    msftconnecttest redirect not working on windows 10 public wifi

    Seems odd that I can get onto the login page on my iphone (which apparently does not use msftconnecttest as an interim step, but not the laptop.

    Can I bypass this msftconnecttest step manually?

    Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

    Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.

    .txt print preview & line numbers

    You can't do print preview with notepad but how about using Wordpad? It exists in every version of Windows for free.

    Not sure about line-numbers but you could do bullet points (numbered) like this which work in a .txt file.

    and you can definitely do print preview.

    Wordpad is a great program to use as it always exists no matter what version of Windows you use. I would save as .rtf rather than .txt personally (in case they do more formatting) but either work for simple lists.
